Almost a year ago I was fortunate to watch Raoul Peck’s film I Am Not Your Negro on the day of its premiere. At the time, I wrote a blog post about how the film is the cinematographic adaptation of James Baldwin’s notes for a book he never finished. The book’s working title was Remember This House and it was meant to tell the story of Baldwin’s relationships with Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King Jr. Peck’s telling only uses Baldwin’s own words -thanks to recordings of the author and readings by Samuel L. Jackson- combined with a mix of present day and past images.

Fortunately PBS is currently offering free streaming of the film. You can find it by clicking on this image. It will be there until January 30th.
